Feedback&gt Might some things break because header information is changed?

Possibly. If used with a browser less advanced than Netscape 3.0 or IE-3, indicating an advanced browser may encourage pages containing extensions that confuse your browser. If this becomes a problem upgrade your browser or use the user-agent option to indicate an older browser. In Version 1.4 and later you can selectively reveal your real browser to only those sites you nominate. Because different browsers use different encodings of Russian characters, certain web servers convert pages on-the-fly according to the User Agent header. Giving a User Agent with the wrong operating system or browser manufacturer causes some Russian sites to be garbled; Russian surfers should change it to something closer. Some page access counters work by looking at the referer; they may fail or break when deprived. Some sites depend on getting a referer header, such as uclick.com, which serves comic strips for many newspaper sites, including Doonsbury for the Washington Post.
